The 1934 Goudey John Allen #42 is a Baseball card released in 1934. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $20.97.
An ungraded copy is worth around $20.97, a PSA 9 around $1,232.36, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $8,247.00, a pristine BGS 10 around $10 and721.00. That's roughly a 393× premium for a gem-mint copy over raw — one of the clearest signals that condition-sensitive buyers dominate this card's market.
Is it worth grading?
With raw copies near $20.97 and top grades reaching $8,247.00, grading a sharp copy of this card can clearly pay for itself — the spread comfortably covers a typical ~$25.00 grading fee. The catch: only submit copies with strong centering, clean corners, and unmarked surfaces, because anything below a 9 usually erases the math.
